Elie Mpungu Kongolo: the Congolese talent arrives in Belgium
Elie Mpungu Kongolo is set to continue his development in Europe. At just 18 years old, the young Congolese striker joins Jong Genk from TP Les Anges. He arrives in Belgium on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy.
After a remarkable first half of the season in the Congolese third division, where he netted 16 goals in 19 matches, Mpungu Kongolo finished as both the top scorer and the best player of the first leg. These standout performances convinced KRC Genk to bet on his potential.
Quick and clinical in front of goal, the Kinshasa native joins a club renowned for developing young talent. With KRC Genk, Elie Mpungu Kongolo will look to take the next big step in his career.
